b"Denis Shapiro began investing in real estate in 2012, when the market was just beginning to recover from the GFC. He built a cash flowing portfolio including many alternative assets, such as Note and ATM, funds, mobile home parks, life insurance policies, tech start-ups, Industrial property, short term rentals, and more. He co-founded an investment club for accredited investors in 2019. Following the success of his investor club he launched SIH Capital Group. SIHCG provides accredited investors with a simplified strategy to invest for passive income. Denis has observed key changes in the alternative asset market in the decade of recovery from the GFC. The JOBS Act of 2012 opened many alternative assets up to everyday investors, but clear expertise and guidance is still hard to find nearly a decade later. This observation compelled Denis to write The Alternative Investment Almanac: Expert Insights on Building Personal Wealth in Non-Traditional Ways in 2021. His book is based on his own experience becoming a successful alternative asset investor and interviews with some of the best alternative asset investors in business today.\\n\\xa0\\n[00:01 - 11:00] Opening Segment\\nDenis introduces himself and describes traditional and alternative investments.\\nStocks and bonds traded in Wall Street vs Assets not traded in Wall Street.\\nAlternative investments: Mobile home parks, life insurance funds, ATM Funds and more.\\xa0\\n\\nWhat are ATM funds?\\nDenis describes why he focuses on this type of investment.\\nThe ATM business model: The ATM machine or The ATM fund.\\n\\n[11:00 - 21:06] ATM Funds\\nHow investors can protect themselves from what could be referred as a ponzi scheme in this type of investment.\\xa0\\nDue diligence: Researching the right ATM fund.\\xa0\\nCraft an investment checklist.\\nThe importance of running background checks.\\n\\nDenis describes how ATM machines behave in a 7 year investment cycle.\\nDepreciation in technology: Segregation in the ATM world.\\n[21:06 - 27:16] Combining traditional and alternative investments\\xa0\\xa0\\nWhy Denis started an alternative investment fund.\\nThe 4% golden rule.\\n\\nDenis describes the many strategies he has used over the years.\\nHow Denis approaches investing when combining both types of investments.\\xa0\\nSave your brain power!\\n[27:17 - 36:54] Closing Segment\\nQuick break for our sponsors\\nWhat is the best investment you've ever made other than your education?\\nHis spouse and a low income rental.\\n\\nDenis\\u2019s worst investment\\nThe same low income rental\\n\\nWhat is the most important lesson that you've learned in business and investing?\\nNetworking\\n\\nConnect with my guest.
